📣 Critical Care Cardiology: Navigating Training & Fellowship Applications
🗓 Wednesday, June 10
⏰ 5:00 PM ET
Join Drs. @Sam_Brusca and @ilanvavilinmd for a practical roadmap to breaking into Critical Care Cardiology (CCC).
Learn how to:
• Maximize CCC exposure during training—even without a dedicated program
• Leverage opportunities like the PULSE program
• Navigate the fellowship application process, timelines & strategies to stand out
Designed for cardiology fellows looking to take the next step in CCC.

Evidence-based and practical guidance to help guide patient selection and triage in the CICU. @seanvandiepen @PennyRampersad @garimadahiyamd @carlosalviar @jason_bartos @emilyzernMD @ChrisBarnettMD @SocietyOfCCC

This Scientific Statement suggests a framework for CICU admission decisions based on the potential beneficence of critical care restricted monitoring or therapies, patient goals-of-care, and the risk of early adverse cardiovascular events among common cardiovascular admission diagnoses.

This came up frequently on general cardiology consults recently…
@interventionalcards gurus - thoughts?
@RohangantiMD asked a good question re: proceduralists being more comfortable operating through asa than plavix. Should we be switching?

Clopidogrel is superior to aspirin for cardiac outcomes beyond 1-year up to 5-years. Results from the STOPDAPT-2 ACS and STOPDAPT-2 Total Cohort. Should it be a lifelong maintenance therapy? @HirotWatanabeMD @MNatsuaki @KoYamamoto7 ahajrnls.org/3PlxLhD

First time giving this talk on pericardial diseases to @VUMChealth IM residents!
Pericardial disease is the ultimate synergy of physiology, clinical examination, imaging and invasive hemodynamics. What a doozy! 🤯
#MedTwitter - how do you teach this topic??

Still can’t believe I got to help write this episode of my FAVORITE podcast! Dream come true to learn from @TrinaAugustinMD
Check out part I of Electrical Storm: Surviving the Storm (see below)
And now Part II is out! Managing ES doesn’t stop once the patient is on ECMO

📰PAPO-Flow Study - Effect of ECMO Flow Variations on Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure in Patients with Cardiogenic Shock.
We are very excited to discuss this paper with SoCCC President, @JasonKatzMD from NYU Langone Health and Cardiology Fellow, @DrKevinBuda from Minneapolis Heart Institute and Hennepin Healthcare. They will offer their perspectives on the study results and address questions. Article located here: jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.…

I love the discourse around this lately!
Is the phenomenon of LV unloading via reduction in transpulmonary flow based on ECMO flow rate? Is there a sweet spot?
@CCCEnthusiasts @SocietyOfCCC
@DrKevinBuda
What do you think @aniket_rali, @JasonKatzMD @TrinaAugustinMD

🚨Can V-A ECMO unload?🚨
Our recent📰 in @JCardFail
👉authors.elsevier.com/a/1m53v…
✅ Venous drainage ↓ transpulmonary flow → ↓ LV preload
✅ Often ↓ inotropes/pressors → ↓ myocardial O₂ demand
✅ Human data show reduced LV filling pressures & stroke work at higher flows
💡 Are we overestimating the afterload penalty of ECMO in cardiogenic shock?
Ideas & critiques welcome!
